What a lovely little restaurant! We had dinner at Pasta Sophia last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a small, family-run place with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. I had the chicken Milanese with spaghetti, and it was outstanding. The tomato sauce was particularly good – rich, full of flavour and honestly one of the best I've tasted. All the pasta is freshly made, which makes such a difference. My friend had the seafood linguine with baby squid, prawns, cherry tomatoes and bisque. She loved it and said every element of the seafood was cooked to perfection. She was equally impressed with her glass of house red, which she thought was excellent. There aren't many tables, and we saw several people turned away without a reservation, so I'd definitely recommend booking. A really enjoyable evening, and somewhere I'd happily return to.

What a wonderful place, super central but with a local family run vibe. We went for my daughters 21st birthday as we wanted a restaurant that we could bring our 10 week old puppy too. The staff were warm and welcoming, the food was great we had a perfect family evening out. x

Delightful afternoon tea in a peaceful garden setting. Very accommodating of teenagers and children while still elegant. Staff is professional and polished, and the scones and pastries are top-notch.

Wonderful meal, my friend and I had the aubergine parmigiana, which was delicious, we shared a large portion which saved us some money but was still a very good sized portion. We then both had the chicken Milanese which was cooked to perfection. The staff were very attentive and friendly. We both really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.

    Went to Lokal for mine and my sisters birthday. The dips / mezze were excellent and the mains were delicious with very generous portions. Service was quick, friendly and helpful throughout. Lovely atmosphere as well, with just the right level of buzz while still being able to have a conversation. Will definitely be returning.

    We actually moved to the bar & ordered food there as it suited our mood more! Both spaces are adjacent & surrounded by green plants at the back of the hotel. A lovely relaxing place to meet someone getting off the train.
